Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Kaleredar]

alright, now he's gonna get killed. this is the same shit my father said obama was gonna do down to the fucking reasoning.

The last thing we need is for Trump to be made some martyr for the kind of jack-booted thugs that still support him.

[cubby]

If the President wasn't in any danger, then why would they move him to the bunker? Res ipsa loquitur.

Because Trump requested it.

[GreenGoldSharpie]

Wow. Someone in the thread said this is Australia's top rated morning show.

agreed, but others may not see it that way, also isnt this what the 2nd amendment is for? (i'm not smart)

[Odinfrost]

Here is an excerpt from the call.


He's fucking crazy.

(apparently the Washington Post has the full audio of the call)

...........................
The renaming to the United Dictator Republic of America is going to happen when?

[Paranoid Android]

The fact he had authorities fire tear gas and rubber bullets at people just so he could walk to a church he never visits just for a photo op should tell you what he thinks of protesters.

Oh yeah. Perfect video if you have not seen where Trump is holding a bible (friking fake as hell) and he looks at it to see if he has it upside down or not.

I mean this pisses me off more that he is using religious fanaticism to increase power.

According to all the wannabe patriots. It's to stop a tyrannical government. You'd think they'd be excited to march on DC and take out Trump. But of course we know they only mean blue politicians can be tyrannical.

[Elegiac]

News flash...hundreds (if not thousands) of violent protesters in front of your house is dangerous as hell and represents a real threat...unless of course one happens to live in some kind of incredibly twisted alternate reality.

Why are you calling the secret service liars?

[cubby]

I'm curious, now catching up on the news, as to which states he's deploying troops to. Because stuff like this, moving troops into "crisis areas", is how one upsets a power base.

[Breccia]

Whatever TJ. Or is it supertony? I forget. The SS said themselves no one was in danger.

It's Occam's Razor time. Which is more likely:

1) The Secret Service, with years or decades of experience per agent on the scene, thought several dozen unarmed protestors would breach the fence, minefield, and walls of America's castle and threaten the lives of those inside.

2) Trump was afraid of black people.

I tell you what: I posted video of those protests within earshot of Trump being dispersed by flash bangs and tear gas. You could hear them while he was talking. If the SS was concerned Friday night, then they should treat the threat with equal concern and move Trump to the bunker tonight, too. I mean, Trump called out the military, the threat must be just as high, right? Therefore, if it does not happen tonight, it must have been a nonstandard situation -- such as Donald "DO SOMETHING" Trump specifically asking.

We'll compare notes tomorrow.

Oh, and while checking for quotes, I found this one:

No, well. We have to play the game the way they’re playing the game. You’re not going to win if we’re soft and they have no rules. Now, I want to stay within the laws. I want to do all of that, but I think we have to increase the laws because the laws are not working.

I want you to read Trump's quote, he was defending waterboarding by the way, from the point of view of an African-American watching the video of an unarmed African American being murdered by suffocation by multiple police officers. How do you think they feel about the laws working? How do you think they feel about the rules?

"But Trump's not in charge of the police."

Not currently the point. Trump is being a hypocrite, but endorsing acts of torture, while calling in the military to deal with people armed with rocks reacting to that level of legal disparity. Trump could have shown empathy. Instead, he yelled at governors for not stomping out protests harshly enough.

[Noxx79]

The president just gassed peaceful protestors so he could walk over to a church and hold up a Bible. He didn’t even open it.

Fuck all trump supporters.

[Mekkle]

Apparently George W. Bush endorsed Biden, anyone able to confirm?

Oh I know. He is a fucking coward. So are his supporters. They have no ground to stand on. Truly an embarrassment.

So your version of events doesn't agree with what people who were actually there said, including sworn federal officers.

The Secret Service said no one crossed the White House fence and no one being protected was ever in danger.

Wow, this didn't age well:

Anyway, I'm done beating this dead horse. People believe what they want to believe...and disregard the rest.

[Edge-]

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/fo...tes-2020-06-01

Hasn't happened, just speculation about its significance.

Which I don't think is significant at all, since the Republican party doesn't much seem to care about the opinion of Bush any longer.

[Kaleredar]

While it should be painfully obvious that any sane person should be endorsing Biden over Trump, I don't think W. Bush's endorsement will do much to shore up the support of the Bernie Bros that are still bitter that the democratic party voters picked a registered democrat instead of Bernie as their candidate.

[alexw]

Wow! Trump is actually busting peaceful protests in DC! Holy shit! This is authoritarian shit. You know he hates having protesters on his front lawn.

They fired tear gas and rubber bullets at them. Just so Trump could get his photo-op in.

[beanman12345]

Not going to lie, I don't see myself as much of a person of action, and the idea of protesting definitely doesn't sound like me, but fuck it. I have the day off tomorrow so I'm gonna head down to Salt Lake City and scream my guts out.

If there wasn't a pandemic, I'd be downtown right now tbh.

[Breccia]

Pfft. You sound just like Sen. Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump just tear-gassed peaceful protesters for a photo op.

Congratulations to Donald Trump: first action in charge, lie about his crowd size. Latest action in charge, use flash bangs and rubber bullets to remove his crowd size. The only thing lower than his ethics are his polling numbers.

[Mekkle]

ehhh, i think the reverse is true at this point.
